Judas? Jacque Maribe's Neighbour Kassaine Released After Plea Deal

Brian Kassaine Spira, a suspect in the murder of Monica Kimani is free after an apparent plea deal in which he reportedly agreed to be a State witness. Mr. Kassaine, a neighbour to Jacque Maribe offered key links in the case after it came out that his gun was used by Joe Irungu in an attempted suicide.

A Kiambu court on Thursday released Mr. Kassaine even though he was guilty of handling an unlicenced firearm. After spending several nights in cell, he is thought to have agreed to testify against Ms Maribe and Mr Irungu as he was with them at some point on the night that the late Monica Kimani was murdered.

This explains the reason why Jacque Maribe and Joe Irungu were co-charged, earlier this week, for murder of the businesswoman.
Kenyan Twitter took sides with some saying likening him to Judas Iscariot, a well known betrayer of Jesus Christ. On the other side, many more understood why he would opt to testify against his friends for the sake of his freedom.
